General Description The iBoot is a network attached, IP addressed, Web Controlled AC power switch. Anyone with a web browser can access iBoot to perform power On, Off or Reboot (timed power shutdown). iBoot is password protected for security. iBoot uses international standard IEC320 Connections and is selectable from 115VAC or 230VAC. iBoot handles circuits up to 12 Amps (10 Amps at 230VAC). Uses for iBoot: ♦ Remote reboot of any device, routers, servers, kiosks, etc.

The device to be rebooted need not be network attached. ♦ Secure sensitive devices by keeping them powered off when

not in use. This prevents hackers from seeing them at all times.

♦ Power down equipment when not needed for power savings and to save on wear and tear.

♦ Power up alert devices like sirens, lamps, messages; or control environmental system like heaters, coolers pumps, etc.

Auto-Ping The Auto-Ping feature allows iBoot to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). You set any IP address to be periodically Ping'ed. When iBoot no longer detects a response from the address, the programmed power control function is actuated. ♦ Use Auto-Ping Locally: Put iBoot next to the device to be

monitored and reboot it automatically when it no longer responds.

♦ Use Auto-Ping Remotely: Put iBoot at a central facility to monitor a remote system and power up an alert when the remote device no longer responds.

iBoot can be set for operating voltages of 105-125 VAC or 210-240 VAC by setting the voltage selector switch located on the side of the unit to the appropriate position 115 or 230. Make sure the switch is set to the correct position before applying power. Connect the device to be powered ON and OFF to the IEC receptacle marked Switched Outlet. A short IEC 320 to North American (NEMA 5-15) power cord is included for connecting the iBoot outlet to the device to be power controlled. The iBoot can be connected to a power strip to allow simultaneous control of multiple devices. Make sure that the combined load of all controlled devices does not exceed 12 Amps for 115VAC or 10 Amps for 230VAC. Connect the supplied power cord to the connector labeled AC Input, and the other end to your AC source. If a power cord with a different terminating plug is required, be sure it is properly rated and meets all the required local electrical standards. An LED Indicator next to the Switched Outlet will be On to indicate that the power is On at that outlet. This LED will turn Off to indicate that the power to the switched outlet is Off.


iBoot Configuration

Setting I/P Address Consult your Network Administrator to determine the appropriate IP address. The IP address can be set in any of four ways: 1. Automatically from a DHCP Server 2. Web Browser via the Set-up Page 3. ibootrst.exe Program from Dataprobe 4. ARP / Ping iBoot comes with factory installed IP address 192.168.1.254. and ready to accept a new IP address from a DHCP Server. If you network has a DHCP server, it will automatically assign an IP address to iBoot the first time it is connected and powered up.

1. Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the iBoot. If you power up iBoot without a fixed (static) IP address, the DHCP server will be able to assign an IP address. This is the factory default setting for iBoot. Once an IP address is assigned, you must check the DHCP server to see what address is assigned to iBoot. If you set the IP address using another method, the address becomes static. To return iBoot to dynamic addressing using DHCP, change the IP address, using the web browser to 0.0.0.0

2. Setting the IP address using Web Browser To set the IP address using a Web Browser, connect the 10/100Base-T connection to your local ethernet network and apply power to iBoot. Open your browser and access iBoot by entering the default (192.168.1.254) or current IP address into your browser's Address window. Enter the password (the factory default is PASS). Click on Setup and follow the instructions on Page 14.


3. Setting the IP address using the ibootrst.exe Dataprobe provides an iBoot Reset Program; ibootrst.exe to easily reset the IP address, as well as set the factory defaults in the event the security code is lost. Obtain ibootrst.exe from Dataprobe’s web site. You can either download ibootrst.exe or iboot.exe, which provides an iBoot control program as well. For ibootrst.exe: http://www.dataprobe.com/files/power/ibootrst.exe For iboot.exe: http://www.dataprobe.com/files/power/iboot.exe To use ibootrst.exe, the computer running the program must be on the same subnet and network segment as the iBoot is to be programmed to. Same subnet can be directly connected or connected through Ethernet hubs. (NOT routers or switches)

To use ibootrst.exe

Enter the MAC address found on the underside of the iBoot and the desired IP address. Click on the Set IP Address bar. ibootrst.exe will confirm the proper setting of the address. If you receive an error message, check the MAC and IP addresses.

Click the button for information about the utility program.


4. Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping To set the IP address using ARP, connect the ethernet connection to your network and apply power to iBoot. Using ARP you use a computer to set the IP address. The IP address assigned to iBoot must be use the same network segment as the computer assigning the address. ARP does not work across routed or switched networks. To set the IP address using ARP, the hardware (MAC) address must be known. This address is located on the bottom of the unit. The syntax for the MAC address is: nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn

Windows (98 and Later) 1. Open a DOS window. 2. Type the following command:

arp -s <IP Address> <MAC Address> Where <IP Address> is the desired IP address (in dotted decimal) for the iBoot and the <MAC address> is the MAC Address of the iBoot. The MAC Address of the iBoot is located on bottom of the unit.

Example: arp -s 63.211.86.165 00-50-c2-05-01-c1 <enter> |- new IP addr. --| |----- MAC addr. ----|

3. Ping the iBoot to program the IP address into the iBoot. Type: ping <IP Address> If the ping command returns “host not responding” 4 times then the address has not been programmed properly, or the IP or MAC Address is incorrect. In either case redo step 2. If the problem persists, contact the Dataprobe Tech Support Hot Line.

4. Delete the entry from the ARP cache by typing: arp -d <IP Address>

5. Ping the iBoot to confirm that it has been programmed. If the iBoot fails to respond, repeat steps 2-4 above. If the problem persists contact the Dataprobe support hotline.

Unix, Linux, MAC and others Consult your systems administrator for information on setting an IP Address. The unit should be pinged after the IP Address has been set to confirm proper operation.


Web Browser Operation

Password Protection iBoot uses two passwords, one for normal use and one that also provides access to the setup functions. From the factory, both passwords are the same. (PASS) Open your browser and enter the IP address of iBoot into the address bar. If your have changed the IP address by any of the methods listed above, enter that address, otherwise, use the default IP address 192.168.1.254 Enter the default password PASS, or your password if it has been changed. A Username is not required. When the proper password is received the Control and Status Page is displayed.

Control and Status Page Once the password is entered, the following page is displayed. (Only one person can be connected to the iBoot at a time.) Device Name Power Status Action Buttons Power Cycle Time Click to Refresh Status Click for Logout Click for Setup (only seen if the Setup Password is used) To control the power, click on the appropriate button. During power cycling, the Power Status bar will indicate the temporary status, with a blue background. Once the cycle is complete, the status bar will revert to its original condition. To abort a power


cycle, click on either Power On or Power Off buttons. iBoot will assume the status selected. Use the Refresh link to obtain the latest status of iBoot. Using your browser's refresh button can lead to inadvertent power switching. If the Auto-Ping Feature is in use then the page will also display the current status, OK or Triggered, with a counter of how many times the Auto-Ping was triggered. If connecting with the Setup Password, a reset button for the counter is provided. When you are finished with iBoot, click on Logout. A confirmation page will be displayed. If you close your browser window without first clicking Logout, there will be a two minute delay before you can re-access iBoot. iBoot uses an inactivity timer for security. When there is no activity for 2 minutes, the user is logged out and the password will need to be entered again for access. This is to prevent accidental lockout by leaving the user logged in. The Auto-Ping status will indicate whether this feature is Enabled, Disabled, or Triggered. It will display Triggered to indicate that it has not received a response to the ping, and has performed its programmed function. Once the ping returns, the status will return to Enabled. To access the Setup page, the Setup Password must be used for the initial login. The factory default for the Setup Password, as well as the operation password is PASS. Both passwords can be changed in Setup.


Setup Page The setup page consists of several sections. Each time a setting is changed click on the Apply button for that section to save the changes in iBoot.

Device Name: Set a 20 Character name to be displayed on the top of each web page. Cycle Time: 0 to 999 seconds power cycle time. This is the length of time the power will be off during a reboot. You can also cycle power on for this time. IP address: Enter either a new IP address, or address 0.0.0.0 to enable Automatic IP addressing via DHCP. Once you click Apply for this section, also click the Reboot button that will appear at the top of the page. The new IP address will not take effect until the unit is rebooted. Subnet Mask: Change if required. Consult your network manager for more details. This will be automatically set if using DHCP Gateway: Change if required. Consult your

network manager for more details. This will be automatically set if using DHCP HTTP Port: This setting is used to allow access to iBoot on a port other than the Web standard Port 80. If the port is changed, you will need to identify the port number when you enter iBoot's IP address into your browser: if the new port is 9100 then use http://192.168.1.254:9100 to access iBoot. After changing the port, a reboot is necessary. Consult your Network Administrator for available port assignments. Click on the Reboot button at the top of the page to install the new port.


Upon Clicking Reboot, a page indicates the new URL for the device. Use this new URL to access iBoot.

Ping Address: Enter the IP address of the device to be pinged. Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often. Fail Counter: Enter 1-99 times the ping needs to fail before the selected action is taken. Action: select from ♦ None (Auto Ping not used) ♦ Power On – Latch ♦ Power On – Follow ♦ Power Off – Latch ♦ Power Off – Follow ♦ Power Cycle ♦ Power Cycle Once Power On – Latch: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power on and remain so until changed via the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.

Power On – Follow: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power on. When the ping response returns, iBoot will power off.

Power Off – Latch: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power off and remain so until changed via the web, ibootctl.exe or direct messaging.

Power Off – Follow: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will power off. When the ping response returns, iBoot will power on.

Power Cycle: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will cycle the power. iBoot will wait the Ping Frequency; if the response does not return, the power will be recycled again. This will continue until the ping response returns or Auto Ping is turned off. Make sure your Auto Ping frequency is longer than the time required to reboot your device.

Power Cycle Once: Upon loss of ping response, iBoot will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.

Home: Return to the main screen Remember to click Apply for each section you are changing.


Passwords Page The Change Passwords link on the Setup page allows selection of new passwords Two passwords are provided. The first password allows access to the control of iBoot, but not to the Setup functions. When this password is used, the main screen will not have a link to Setup. The Setup Password allows access to both the Main Screen and the Setup Screen. The default for both Passwords is PASS. Passwords can be up to 10 characters long and is case sensitive. Enter the current password then the new password twice to confirm. Click Apply for each password being changed. OOPS - I forgot my Password Well, we told you to remember it, but we understand. You can reset iBoot to its factory default conditions. Dataprobe provides a iBoot Reset Program for Windows. You will need to have physical access to the iBoot as well as network access. To reset the factory defaults including the password, use ibootrst.exe For security purposes, you will need to power up the iBoot and complete the reset to factory defaults within two minutes.

1. Run ibootrst.exe. Enter the current IP address of iBoot.

2. Remove and replace the power to iBoot. You have 2 minutes to complete step 3.

3. Click on the Set Factory Defaults button. This process does not change the IP address.

Click the button for information about the utility program.


Program Control ibootctl.exe Dataprobe provides a remote control program to control iBoot directly. This program is useful for creating simple desktop icons for specific power functions for one or more iBoots. It can also be run from a command line and can be called by other programs. (Batch files etc.) For example, ibootctl.exe can be used as the double click action with WhatsUp Gold or other network monitoring programs. Download ibootctl.exe from dataprobe’s web site at http://www.dataprobe.com/files/power/ibootctl.exe or http://www.dataprobe.com/files/power/iboot.exe for ibootctl.exe and ibootrst.exe the reset program.

Direct TCP/Telnet Control For application developers, iBoot also supports control via direct TCP communications. To control iBoot in this manner requires opening a socket to iBoot and sending specific commands. Information on the required techniques and protocol are available at Dataprobe's web site at http://www.dataprobe.com/files/power/iboot_tcp.pdf or by contacting Dataprobe directly. Dataprobe can provide perl scripts and other programmer resources to assist in integration of iBoot into any system.
